We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
We gave the lad a pair of some serious London-built Peal &Co. quality shoes for his birthday this weekend. Doubt he would ever do that for himself, which is what birthdays are for.
"Shoes for Industry", Porgy, Mudhead, Communist Martyr High School... What a blast from the past! My favorite is still"The Further Adventures of Nick Danger". Very funny guys!
